Preface
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, and the beacon fire was endless. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many anecdotes of celebrities, but there were often some people's names that were relatively rare, so they were often mispronounced.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the names of four people were very easy to mispronounce, not only because a character has multiple pronunciations, but also because the style of the font is very similar to other characters, so it is often mispronounced.
After all, Chinese culture is broad and profound, and for ordinary people, the mispronunciation of rare words and polyphonic words in ancient books has become a common occurrence.
But there is still a big difference between the ancients and modern people in pronunciation and the use of words, after all, there are many rare words that are rarely used because they are obscure, so in the Three Kingdoms, who are the names of these four people who are easy to mispronounce?
1. The queen of Shu - Liu Chan
One of them is Liu Chan, who was famous in the Three Kingdoms period, as the queen of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, he was once called "Adou who can't be helped", what should his name be read? What kind of legendary story does he have?
This queen of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period was Liu Bei's son, Liu Bei's ambition, but Wen Taowuluo did not appear in his son's body.
Not only is there no intelligence, but also a little incompetent, even if Shu has the most feared strategist - Zhuge Liang in the other two countries, it is still useless, and he does not listen to Zhuge Liang's advice at all, which eventually leads to the destruction of Shu.
At this time, Sima Zhao asked Liu Chan: "Do you still want your Shu Kingdom?" Unexpectedly, Liu Chan actually said such a rebellious sentence: "Here is fun, don't think about Shu."
It means that I am very happy and happy here, and I don't want to be in Shu, and then there is an idiom of "I don't want to think about Shu". So what does the pronunciation of Liu Chan mean? Is it "chan" or "shan"?
Liu Chan's "Zen" is actually pronounced as "shan" here, although this word is often pronounced as "chan", but the pronunciation of "chan" is mostly related to Buddhist things, such as Zen staff, Zen master, zazen and so on.
There are also ancient emperors in the mainland who gave way to others, also known as Zen concessions, such as the earliest days of the Zen concession system, which handed over the throne to the most capable people, such as Yao, Shun, Yu Chan, Yao gave the throne to Yu, and Yu gave the throne to Yao.
Liu Chan was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Buddhism had just been introduced to China, but at that time, only the masses at the bottom had a small number of believers, and the big people at the top did not believe in these.
For example, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others, so it is absolutely impossible for them to use the pronunciation in Buddhism when they named their sons, so Liu Chan's "Zen" is only pronounced as "shan".
And before Liu Chan was born, Liu Bei once recognized a look and named it "Liu Feng", until Liu Chan was born, he named it "Zen".
At that time, Feng Zen was a kind of feudal activity of the ancient emperor to worship heaven and earth, and at that time it was necessary to climb Mount Tai and build an altar to worship the sky, also known as "sealing".
And in the Liangfu Mountain sacrifice place under Mount Tai, it is called "Zen". It is read as "shan", so the name of his own son "shan" corresponds to the "feng" of his adopted son Liu Feng.
Liu Chan, the word heir, "Zen" is the emperor's behavior, and "heir" is the meaning of inheritance, to inherit the father's business, continue to be the emperor.
Second, Xun Yu - Wang Zuozhicai
The second is Xun Yu, in fact, it is also the easiest of these four people to mispronounce, because the image of the word "Xun Yu" is very similar to "Gou or", so some people pronounce it as "gouhuo".
Everyone was puzzled, why the first strategist around Cao Cao was called "dog goods", but they didn't know who these talents were shallow and didn't recognize the word "Xun Yu".
In fact, he pronounced it as "xunyu", Xun Yu was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan, and was a descendant of Xunzi, and his grandfather Xun Shu was very famous at that time, and was also called Shenjun.
And his father Xun Yu was very jealous of eunuchs, so he hurriedly asked the young Xun Yu to marry the daughter of Tang Heng, a regular servant, and Xun Yu was also very talented and famous because he was young, in order to avoid being discussed by others.
So later, after seeing Xun Yu, Nanyang celebrity He Hao was particularly surprised, and said to him: "This is Wang Zuozhicai!" In the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty, he was promoted to filial piety, and then served as the palace guard, in September, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Wei, and set up the emperor Liu Xie, in November, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself Xiangguo, and went to the palace with a sword.
Xun Yu abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, and said to his father: "Yingchuan is a place of conquest, if the world is in chaos, Yingchuan will be invaded, so you should avoid it as soon as possible, and you can't stay here for too long." ”
When the locals who had lived in Yingchuan for a long time were reluctant to leave their hometowns, Han Fu, who was the pastor of Jizhou at this time, decided to send someone to pick up Xun Yu, but did not follow, and in the end, only Xun Yu moved his clan to Jizhou alone to avoid the war.
After Xun Yu arrived in Jizhou, he found that this place had been occupied by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao entertained Xun Yu as a guest, but Xun Yu did not think that Yuan Shao could achieve great things, so in the second year of Chuping, Xun Yu left Yuan Shao to join Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu, he was very happy and said to him, "This is my ovary." Since then, Xun Yu has become a general under Cao Cao, helping Cao Cao with advice.
In the Battle of Guandu, he helped Cao's army turn defeat into victory, and then let Cao's army take the opportunity to pursue Yuan's family, pacify Jizhou, and help Cao Cao achieve great causes, but Xun Yu's heart was always loyal to the Han family.
So later, because of his opposition to Cao Cao's self-proclaimed Cao Gong, he was transferred from the center of power, and then on the way to follow Sun Quan, he died depressed in the Shouchun area.
3. Zhen Mi and Li Yu
The third one who is easy to mispronounce is Zhen Mi, that is, Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law. It was Zhen Yi's daughter, married to Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, in the battle of Guandu, after Jizhou Yecheng was broken by Cao Cao, the Yuan family was also in great trouble.
Many women of the Yuan family were violated, but only Zhen and Mrs. Liu sat in the lobby, why is this? It is said that when Cao Pi entered the Yuan Mansion, between Mrs. Liu and Zhen, Zhen was afraid to bury his head on Mrs. Liu's lap and weep.
Cao Pi saw that the young woman was wearing a disheveled hair, so he asked Zhen to raise her head, helped her pull up her hair in a bun, and wiped her face clean, only to find that her appearance was so delicate and beautiful, so he decided to take Zhen as a concubine.
Later, after the establishment of the Wei State, Zhen Mi was named empress, also known as Mrs. Zhen. And Zhen Mi's "Mi" character is pronounced as "fu", and many people pronounce it as the pronunciation of "mi".
When Zhen Mi was nine years old, she knew all the words and texts she had read, and she had written with her brother's pen and inkstone many times, so his brother often said: "You should learn more Xi female workers, study and learn Xi, do you want to become a female doctor?"
Zhen Mi said: "Women in ancient times learned from the experience of their predecessors Xi used for reference, if they didn't want to study, where could they learn from?"
Later, Cao Zhi once expressed his sorrow for Zhen in "Luo Shen Fu", Luo Shen is also called Concubine Mi, is the daughter of the Eastern Emperor Fuxi, when crossing Luoshui, the boat was overturned by Luoshui, so Concubine Mi became Luo Shen after her death.
And the original name of "Luo Shen Fu" was "Feeling Zhen Fu", and Zhen originally had no name, so people guessed based on "Feeling Zhen Fu" written by Cao Zhi, "Luo Shen" Zhen Mi is, which is also the origin of Zhen Mi's name.
There is also a person who is easy to mispronounce words is Li Dao, a general under Dong Zhuo, this word is easy to be mispronounced because "傕" and "urge" are very similar, and people who are often indistinguishable will be called "urge".
In fact, the real pronunciation of this word is pronounced as "jue", Li Dao left after Dong Zhuo was killed, and then followed the strategy of the strategist Jia Xu to attack Chang'an, after Chang'an was broken, Lu Bu fled, Wang Yunhou was killed, Li Dao occupied Chang'an again, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou jointly governed the government.
epilogue
As can be seen from the above, these words are not commonly used, so this is also the reason why people are often prone to mispronunciation, and now in various ancient books, there are still many celebrities with some rare words in their names, when they do not recognize, they still have to consult more information to avoid reading mistakes.
